Entrepreneurship Development Oyetunji Oyeyinka Execvutive Director Allklair LTD. For the final year student of Crescent University

Introduction I am honored to be with you today and be part of Young Entrepreneurial students in crescent university. Speaking before such a prestigious student has been an undertaking I have been looking forward to. I have been holding speeches, seminars and this has been my longstanding mission: to promote the spirit of entrepreneurship among the youth not only in Universities, but in Africa and all over the world as well.

My talk for today will focus on the entrepreneurship development in Nigeria, in particular, as well as my own experiences as an entrepreneur. I defined entrepreneurship as the ability to make adequate allocation of resources in order to take new business opportunities which may have uncertain outcomes but has recently gained renewed importance through business idea. Entrepreneurship has become central to economic growth in light of the rapid advancement of information technology and growing importance of knowledge. The new economy now calls for innovative ideas and individual initiative, rather than organizational discipline, adjustability and greater speed in taking decisions, which I must say is what entrepreneurship is all about. The renewed importance of entrepreneurship is reflected in the recent rate of unemployment in the country. The government of Nigeria welcomed the “Agenda on Entrepreneurship” which identified best entrepreneurial practices and reinforced the need for their implementation in our universities. The agenda seeks to share the experiences of all young entrepreneurs in creating a healthy business environment to foster growth and innovation for SMEs. Allklair limited calls for public sector intervention in the regional economy to ensure that entrepreneurship promotion policies are developed to promote growth and job creation as well as to encourage SME innovation.

HOW TO BECOME A SUCCESSFUL ENTREPRENEUR IN CONSTRAINT ECONOMY Being an entrepreneur is about more than just starting a business or two, it is about having attitude and the drive to succeed in business. All successful Entrepreneurs have a similar way of thinking and posses several key personal qualities that make them so successful in business. Successful entrepreneurs have an inner drive to succeed and grow their business, rather than having a Business degree or technical knowledge in a particular field.

All successful entrepreneurs have the following qualities:

Inner Drive to Succeed Entrepreneurs are driven to succeed and expand their business. They see the bigger picture and are often very ambitious. Entrepreneurs set massive goals for themselves and stay committed to achieving them regardless of the obstacles that get in the way.

Strong Belief in themselves Successful entrepreneurs have a healthy opinion of themselves and often have a strong and assertive personality. They are focused and determined to achieve their goals and believe completely in their ability to achieve them. Their self optimism can often been seen by others as flamboyance or arrogance but entrepreneurs are just too focused to spend too much time thinking about un-constructive criticism.

Research All entrepreneurs have a passionate desire to do things better and to improve their products or service. They are constantly looking for ways to improve. They're creative, innovative and resourceful.

Openness to Change If something is not working for them they simply change. Entrepreneurs know the importance of keeping on top of their industry and the only way to being number one is to evolve and change with the times. They're up to date with the latest technology or service techniques and are always ready to change if they see a new opportunity arise.

Competitive by Nature Successful entrepreneurs thrive on competition. The only way to reach their goals and live up to their self imposed high standards is to compete with other successful businesses.

Highly Motivated and Energetic Entrepreneurs are always on the move, full of energy and highly motivated. They are driven to succeed and have an abundance of self motivation. The high standards and ambition of many entrepreneurs demand that they have to be motivated!

Accepting of Constructive Criticism and Rejection Innovative entrepreneurs are often at the forefront of their industry so they hear the words "it can't be done" quite a bit. They readjust their path if the criticism is constructive and useful to their overall plan, otherwise they will simply disregard the comments as pessimism. Also, the best entrepreneurs know that rejection and obstacles are a part of any leading business and they deal with them appropriately.

True entrepreneurs are resourceful, passionate and driven to succeed and improve. They're pioneers and are comfortable fighting on the frontline The great ones are ready to be laughed at and criticized in the beginning because they can see their path ahead and are too busy working towards their dream.

With this final note, I would like to sincerely thank the school authority, Dr. Kareem, R.O and the students of CRESCENT UNIVERSITY

I truly look forward to working hand-in-hand with this school for the further advancement of entrepreneurship.

Thank you very much.
